  <!--
    TODO: work on this page. This error appears with the IRC account
    when you set a nickname that is already in use on that network. We need
    to write topics for changing your nickname and to set the password of your
    nickname.

  <title>I get a message that says "Name in use"</title>

  <p>
    This kind of error happens when you try to connect to your IRC account and
    you are using a nickname that is being used by someone else on that particular
    network.
  </p>

  <p>
    To resolve this problem, click on the <gui>Edit Account</gui> button and
    perform one of the following:
  </p>

  <list>
    <item>
      <p>
        Change your nickname.
      </p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>
        Set the password for that nickname, if you have registered that nickname
        within the network you are using. For more information,
        see <link xref="irc-nick-password"/>.
